Awesome! Welcome to the wonderful world of modeling!

You definitely need to keep doing more professional shoots, only with photographers that will benefit your portfolio (unless you're being paid).

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32095985
This shot looks really fake. Probably my least favourite of yours.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#32095971
You look pretty here, but your pose doesn't look natural.

You need to work on looking more natural in your photos (body wise, and face wise unless the concept is more MUA related).

Good luck! smile

You've got quite the confidence in front of a camera! And your body is looking good!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32462010
This is beautiful.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32023179
This is probably your best work.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32453301
And this would probably be your worst. The smile seems too forced, as well as the pose.

You have a very beautiful, innocent, pretty look to you. I love it.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32515966
Your eyes look a bit drowsy in this, but it's one of my favourite pictures in your port. Beautiful.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/24994009
This comes off as amature. I'd delete it if I were you.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32510945
You look like a goddess. Amazing.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30881769
Amateur looking and bad editing. I'd delete it.


Other than the amateur photos I mentioned, you have a beautiful portfolio. I love your look, and I'll go like your Facebook page now.

I'd suggest you make your display image one of just you, because the one it is now doesn't show people your "look", giving them an impression on you right away. I'd change it to this if I were you:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31854402

You're a pretty handsome guy, and you look good with a bit of a beard, and without one, which is good.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28976912
This is a good photo because it shows that you can not only work the handsome sweet look, but a tougher one as well.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31854737
I don't like this, simply because of the editing. The blue isn't done that well.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31854556
Your pose in this is pretty bad. You look like you've been shot, and your pose is way too forced.

I do think you have potential, and your height is a bit of a setback, but you have a great look.

This doesn't show your skills as a model and the photography is a bit amateur. Not loving it.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32517678
You have a FANTASTIC body, but this photo makes you look a bit awkward. I'd suggest getting another front-on bikini shot.

Thanks! I'm taking your advice on the avatar change, that makes a lot of sense. I just wanted it to get some love for a while cuase it was new haha. And I appreciate your opinion of the last photo, I need to make cuts again soon, I like limiting myself to less than 15 photos on here, it means I keep forcing improvement!

I re-wrote your "about me" section keeping only important information and phrasing it to sound much more professional. I do this a lot and hopefully you're not offended, I'm just a picky English lover. smile

I'm Monica, an 18 year old newcomer to modeling, something I'm very interested in. I don't have very much experience, other than working with photographer friends, but I work great with direction and am interested in trying out new things!---

I'm currently graduating which takes away a lot of my time to shoot, but after that I'm looking to get back in to it.

Really amateur, and you should also mention your tattoo in your bio.

Honestly you have potential but it's hard to give you a good critique because of your lack of variety in your portfolio. You need to work on much better posing and expression. You can't just stand there and look pretty.

Work with MUCH better photographers. About half of your photos are lacking in quality from the photography side, which ruins the whole image.

Also, try and work on your expressions. They all look too happy, which is okay, but if you're interested in other genres you need to get better with more serious and relaxed expressions.

I'm officially a fan of you. smile

You should let your talent agency give you the most direction, but I'd love to give my input.

You should have more conceptual and interesting concepts in your portfolio, as well as high fashion.

You look slightly stiff and awkward in some of your photos. Try and relax.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#32390908
This looks slightly amateur. I'm not loving the cropped photo with that styling.

Overall you have so much potential. Keep up the great work.

You have quite a good range of different photos and concepts in your port.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31710389
I love this photo. Your bottom lip looks a bit awkward, but other than that, good photo, and a great choice for your display photo.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30452337
I don't like this. The way the wind is blowing in your face is unflattering and ruins the photo.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32003626
This is badly cropped with not-so-great lighting. I'd suggest you do a similar shoot with a different photographer!

Overall I think you're doing pretty good and have plenty more potential!

Honestly I think the name GlammGodd is a bit silly.

Your portfolio is very interesting and you have quite a bit of unique photos. I'd suggest getting a few just simple beauty shots.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32487461
The styling is good and so is your pose, you just have too much of a blank/tired stare.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 1#32487443
This is pretty awesome. Would have been better with a different photo technique, but there's nothing you can do about that.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 1#32487414
I like this a lot. Probably my favourite shot in your port.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26612665
This is so amazing, and shows your curves great.

You can easily pull of the sexy side of lingerie, and the sweet side.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31541150
This is also beautiful. Your pose and expression work well.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22749994
This is your only photo that I don't like. The slight twist of your body and the leaning in your back don't look great.

You just gained me as a new fan wink

This photo looks as you've been caught blinking. When shot from the side, always either have your eyes completely open or completely closed. Anything in-between will result in this.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30526238
You look a little stiff here.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32386563
This is beautiful! Definitely your best shot.

Overall you look a little stiff and have a blank stare in almost every photo. I'd suggest you liven up a bit on each of your shoots and give a full range of emotions.

Before even clicking on your name I was excited to critique you because your display image drew me in.

You have quite a large portfolio so I would suggest deleting a few, and only keeping the best of the best. I would suggest dumping these, because of either awkward posing or expressions, bad lighting, not flattering, etc.

Mostly just old, amateur work.

Your newer images are FANTASTIC.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32579776
The dress should have been ironed and I don't like the boots, but I really do like your pose and the overall photo.

You look scared, like you're about to fall.

Definitely your best photo. I love your expression, pose, styling, location, everything.

You're doing great and have so much potential, but you've worked with a few not-so-great photographers. I'd keep those out of your portfolio.

I would definitely like to hear your opinion!

I re-activated my account after several months silence, but haven't done a new shoot yet, so all of my photos are from before (though I did delete them all in the deactivation process, which was probably silly).

I would love some feedback on what I've done and what I could improve upon. I kind of feel like I'm starting from scratch again, since I hadn't done all that much modelling beforehand...

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm ever so grateful. The first two you mentioned are two of my favourites, and I agree for sure about the second two.

Unfortunately none of them are as I currently look - My hair's now light blonde and shoulder length, but I'm uploading my Actor headshot temporarily so I can show what I look like right now. I did like having short hair, but it's much easier having it longer, lol!

Wedding photos are beautiful but I don't think this one belong's in a modeling portfolio, as it looks like it's from an actual wedding, not a photo shoot.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#31423186
You look bored and angry. Not a good expression.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#31263476
Your face looks lovely here. The pose is almost great, but your shoulders are layed back a little too far.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#31172905

Overall you have a bit of a vintage feel to your look. You have potential to do specific things, and be a good look for them.
